C Alphabet Pattern 3

Here`s a program that prints the above alphabet pattern using C Programming:

example.c

Copied

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
 int n = 5; // Number of rows in the pattern
 char startChar = 'E'; // Starting character

 for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
  char currentChar = startChar - i; // Current character in each row

  for (int j = 0; j <= i; j++) {
   printf("%c", currentChar + j);
  }

  printf("\n");
 }

 return 0;
}

💻 Testing the Program

When you run the above program, it will print the following output:

Output

E
DE
CDE
BCDE
ABCDE

🧠 How the Program Works

Let's break down the logic behind the code:

The pattern is a triangular pattern consisting of alphabets. Each row in the pattern contains a sequence of consecutive alphabets starting from a specific character and going up to 'A'.

In the given code, we have a variable n which represents the number of rows in the pattern. In this case, n is set to 5.
The starting character is defined as 'E' using the variable startChar.
The outer loop runs from i = 0 to i < n and controls the number of rows in the pattern.
Inside the outer loop, we have another loop, the inner loop, which is responsible for printing the characters in each row. It runs from j = 0 to j <= i, where i represents the current row.
Within the inner loop, we calculate the currentChar by subtracting i from the startChar. This ensures that each row starts with the desired character and goes in descending order.
Finally, we print the characters currentChar + j in each row, where j iterates from 0 to the current row index (i). This prints the consecutive alphabets in each row.
After printing all the characters in a row, we move to the next line using printf("\n"), creating the triangular pattern.

It follows the pattern where the starting character 'E' is present in the first row, then in each subsequent row, the starting character decreases by one and the row contains consecutive alphabets up to 'A'.

💯 Tips for Enhancement:

Explore the versatility of this pattern by adjusting its parameters. Whether you increase or decrease the size, tweak the spacing, or modify the characters used, each change opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to customize and create your unique visual effects.
